Wire Sizes/Torque

Requirements

Control Wiring Terminal Block:

The Inverter ON/OFF terminals are used for connecting an

external ON/OFF switch. To use this feature, the jumper

must be removed. (See Radian manual for details.)

The AUX terminals can be used to start a generator

or to control external devices.

AUX terminals are also available on the charge

controller and the FLEXnet DC. (See the charge

controller or FNDC installation manuals for details.)

Mounting

WARNING: Fire/Explosion Hazard

Do not place combustible or flammable materials within 12 feet (3.7 m) of the equipment. This unit employs mechanical

relays and is not ignition-protected. Fumes or spills from flammable materials could be ignited by sparks.

WARNING: Personal Injury

Use safe lifting techniques and standard safety equipment when working with this equipment.

IMPORTANT:

Clearance and access requirements may vary by location. Maintaining a 36” (91.4 cm) clear space in front of the system

for access is recommended. Consult local electric code to confirm clearance and access requirements for the specific

location.

Radian Mounting:

1. Ensure the mounting surface is strong enough to handle 3 times the total weight of

all the components. Add a piece of plywood if necessary to strengthen the surface.

2. Attach the wall bracket to the surface centering the mounting holes on the sides

with the wall studs. Use all 6 mounting screws to secure the bracket.

3. Lift the inverter so that the inverter bracket is above the wall bracket.

4. Lower the Inverter into place so that the inverter bracket slips into the wall bracket.
